A message to the young girl

I´d like to say goodbye. 
To the girl who smiled every time she saw a butterfly. 
To the girl who always saw joy in sorrow 
To the girl who dreamed of tomorrow. 
 

I´d like to apologize. 
That I didn´t prepare you for all the starless skies 
That I didn`t warn you about all the heartbreak. 
That I didn´t warn you about the tears after every mistake. 
 

I´d like to say 
You´ll feel better one day... 
You´ll be happy 
Just wait and see
